About this Webinar

Connection References are used to create an addition abstraction layer to ease a proper Application Lifecycle Management process. Connections are scoped to an environment, not solution aware and on a user level.

This fundamental difference is important to understand and leads regularly to problems in every project.

This session will finally bring an end to this! We will deep dive into how connections and connection references work as well as how we should use them.

 

Benefits:

After this session, you will be equipped with everything you need to know to shine as the star of connection references in your next project. We will learn what they are, how we use them, how to clean them up as well as best practices and tips and tricks around connection references.

 

Demo:

There will be two demos.

One will demonstrate the issue that usually occurs when working with connection references and several users. As well as how to prevent the issue.

The second one (after a short theoretical intro) will demonstrate how one can clean up in case the issue occurred.

Agenda:

The session “Who Fx’d Up My Data: Low Code Considerations in a Modern Data Strategy” by Benedikt Bergmann includes two demos: one showing common multi-user issues with connection references and how to prevent them, and another demonstrating how to remediate and clean up if those issues occur.
